Four 911 Dispatchers Honored by NorCo Council

Four Northampton County tele-communicators were honored by Council on October 1 for exemplary service in responding to two different incidents in October and December of last year. "Our whole 911 system is something we should be proud of," said Scott Parsons. These dispatchers were also recently honored by St. Luke's Hospital during their annual Night of Heroes. They are the first Northampton County employees to be so honored.

"We take them for granted, but what they do saves lives," said Director of Administration Luis Campos. These dispatchers are (from left to right) Jamie Horinko, Erin Stahley and Liza Bonisese. The fourth person honored, A.J. Olszewski, was unable to attend the formal presentation.

Northampton County's 911 Center is administered by Todd Weaver. Allentown, Bethlehem, Lehigh and Northampton County are currently conducting a study on the possible merger of 911 services.
